Benfica coach Roger Schmidt analyzed the victory with a defeat against F.C. Guimarães (5-1), counted on the 25th round of Liga Bwin, the last match before the selection commitments stopped.

“The key is always to play aggressively, be surgical and use the 90 minutes to create chances, not give the opposition chances to take advantage. We scored the first goals and the first half was top notch. Then we slowed down a bit, maybe the intensity of the game in the second half was too much. We scored two more goals.” We’re very happy. Vitoria has a good team, they’ve played an excellent season so far and it’s not easy to play against them. Today was a very good day for us,” the German coach confirmed to BTV.

The third goal was the coach’s dream?

“It was like last week, with the goal against Maritimo. We did very well. The players are always attentive to their teammates.”
